Easy Cheesy Beef and Bean Bake Casserole Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• salt and pepper to taste
• 1 (6 ounce) can tomato sauce
• 1 onion, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 (15 ounce) can vegetarian baked beans
• 6 cups prepared instant mashed potatoes
• 6 ounces shredded Cheddar cheese

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2. In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for about 10 minutes, or until the beef is fully browned. Drain any excess grease. Stir in the tomato sauce, onion, and Worcestershire sauce. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
3. Prepare the instant mashed potatoes according to the package instructions. Transfer the beef mixture to a casserole dish. Spread the baked beans evenly over the beef, then top with a smooth layer of the prepared mashed potatoes.
4. Sprinkle the shredded cheese generously over the mashed potatoes. Bake the casserole uncovered in the preheated oven at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the casserole is heated through.
